Obama Wants Fewer SUV and Pickups Manufactured

The country’s automakers should ditch their focus on SUVs and trucks in favor of smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles, President Obama said Monday.

“You can’t just make money on SUVs and trucks,” Obama said during a town hall forum in Cannon Falls, Minn. “There is a place for SUVs and trucks, but as gas prices keep on going up, you have got to understand the market. People are going to try to save money.”

What gets me is the NON mention of the person who got second place in the straw poll.

Ron Paul won the CPAC poll, the Southern Conference poll, and now comes in second place in Iowa, but yet the media has deemed him “unelectable”.

The media is trying to determine who the nominee is. The media praises Romney, Bachman and Perry, but vilify Ron Paul who explains his positions in a way that you either agree, or disagree with him.

Let THE PEOPLE decide who they want as a candidate. If the Republicans nominate someone who is “unelectable” but is the BEST candidate to take this Country back from those who are set on destroying it, so be it. LET THE PEOPLE decide.

Quit trying to indoctrinate us.

Although I agree with Paul on almost EVERY issue (Iran included, you know when Iran attacks us, THEN and only then is it our responsibility to retaliate, until that happens, they have the same right as we do to best defend itself), I understand that his position has been determined by the media to be “extremist”, and with the masses of the people getting their news from the media without researching it, Paul would probably NOT win the General election.

However, Paul has a PLAN. A plan I agree with about cutting the budget, auditing the Fed, AND Foriegn policy.

Why can’t Paul gain traction with the general population?

Because the media indoctrinates them, and the majority of people are too lazy to research for themselves Paul’s plan.

I’m not commenting that I am supporting Paul, what I am suggesting that of all of the people I HAVE researched, I agree with Paul on the majority of issues.

You know, we really have to get OUR “house in order” before we can start helping others.

When we do THAT, we will once again be the powerful, respected Nation we once were.

That figures he doesn’t want us to drive what we want to drive so he will force us to drive the sardine cans while he runs around in his black (color) mafia bus on his campaign trek and Air Force 1. He even takes his wife on a date to NY in AF 1 but we can walk, take a bus or buy the sardine can.
